  • Santa Maria Maggiore St Mary Major
    Santa Maria Maggiore St Mary Major Piazza di Santa Maria Maggiore Santa Maria Maggiore is a 5th century papal basilica, located in the rione Monti. and is notable for its extensive Early Christian mosaics. The basilica is built on the summit of the Esquiline hill, which was once a commanding position. (1) (i)! History Ancient times The church is on the ancient Cispius, the main summit of the Esquiline Hill, which in ancient times was not a heavily built-up area. Near the site had been a Roman temple dedicated to a goddess of childbirth, Juno Lucina, much frequented by women in late pregnancy. Archaeological investigations under the basilica between 1966 and 1971 revealed a 1st century building, it seems to have belonged to a villa complex of the Neratii family. (1) (k) Liberian Basilica - Foundation legend - Civil war According to the Liber Pontificalis, this first church (the so-called Basilica Liberiana or "Liberian Basilica") was founded in the August 5, 358 by Pope Liberius. According to the legend that dates from 1288 A.D., the work was financed by a Roman patrician John, and his wife. They were childless, and so had decided to leave their fortune to the Blessed Virgin. She appeared to them in a dream, and to Pope Liberius, and told them to build a church in her honor on a site outlined by a miraculous snowfall, which occurred in August (traditionally in 358). Such a patch of snow was found on the summit of the Esquiline the following morning. The pope traced the outline of the church with his stick in the snow, and so the church was built.

  • The Dismantling of the Septizonium – a Rational, Utilitarian and Economic Process?
    Christine Pappelau The Dismantling of the Septizonium – a Rational, Utilitarian and Economic Process? Summary The article examines the processes involved in dismantling the Septizonium and transport- ing its building materials, peperino stones, to one of several sites – in this case the lavatore del Termine. References to other materials and sites such as the casa dei mendicanti are only made to support the main thesis that this was a case of rational, economical and utilitarian re-use. The main sources used were the conto misura et stima of Domenico Fontana and the trans- portation libretto of Giovan Pietro. The article focuses on the dismantling process itself, the time and materials it required, the working process, economic effort and interim stor- age. Transportation aspects are examined in terms of volumetric masses for transportation, mobility and destination routes in the incipient Sistine street system. Keywords: Septizonium; re-use; building materials; transportation; Sistine street system; Domenico Fontana; Sixtus V. Thema des Artikels sind die Arbeits-, Transport- und Lagerungsprozesse, die sich bei der Niederlegung des antiken römischen Septizoniums ereigneten. Die Beispiele der Verbrin- gung der Baumaterialien Peperin, Travertin und Marmor vom Septizonium zu verschiede- nen Bauplätzen wie etwa der lavatore del Termine unterstützen die Hauptthese des Artikels. Diese lautet, dass die Wiederverwendung und der Wiederverbau der freigewordenen Bau- materialien des Septizoniums auf rationalen, ökonomischen und utilitaristischen Gründen beruhen. Hauptquellen sind das conto misura et stima Domenico Fontanas und das Transport- libretto des Giovan Pietro. Der Artikel behandelt den Prozess der Niederlegung, die Arbeits- prozesse, die Arbeitsökonomie und die Zwischenlagerung. Die Frage des Transports der Baumaterialien wird anhand volumetrischer Angaben und der Bewegung durch das neu angelegte Sixtinische Straßensystem analysiert.

  • Front Matter
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-01399-5 — Rome Rabun Taylor , Katherine Rinne , Spiro Kostof Frontmatter More Information ROME Spanning the entire history of the city of Rome from an Iron Age village to a modern metropolis, this is the i rst book to take the long view of the Eternal City as an urban organism. Three thousand years old and counting, Rome has thrived almost from the start on self-reference, supplementing the everyday concerns of urban management and planning by projecting its own past onto the city of the moment. This is a study of the urban processes by which Rome’s people and leaders, both as custodians of its illustrious past and as agents of its expansive power, have shaped and conditioned its urban fabric by manipulating geog- raphy and organizing space; planning infrastructure; designing and presiding over mythmaking, ritual, and stagecraft; controlling resident and transient populations; and exploiting Rome’s standing as a seat of global power and a religious capital. Rabun Taylor is Associate Professor of classics at the University of Texas at Austin. He has published articles in the American Journal of Archaeology , the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians , the Journal of Roman Archaeology , and Memoirs of the American Academy in Rome . His books include Public Needs and Private Pleasures: Water Distribution, the Tiber River, and the Urban Development of Ancient Rome (2000) and Roman Builders: A Study in Architectural Process (2003). Katherine Wentworth Rinne is an independent scholar and Lecturer at the University of California at Berkeley and Adjunct Professor of architecture at California College of the Arts.

  • The Public Image of the Later Severans: Caracalla to Alexander Severus Sally Anne O’Grady Benvman (Hons), BA (Hons)
    The Public Image of the Later Severans: Caracalla to Alexander Severus Sally Anne O’Grady BEnvMan (hons), BA (hons) A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2015 School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry Abstract This thesis examines the public image of the later members of the Severan dynasty (Caracalla, Geta, Elagabalus and Alexander Severus) in order to identify and analyse the underlying motivations behind the actions undertaken to promote their public image by each of these emperors at a time of great change in the third century AD. This was achieved through a chronological examination of the coins, inscriptions, portraiture and public building programmes of the later Severans. The first chapter examines the public image of Caracalla and Geta under Septimius Severus; the second chapter analyses Caracalla’s sole rule; and the final chapter investigates Elagabalus and Alexander Severus in order to establish how they, or those acting on their behalf, wished to portray themselves to the public. The literary works of Cassius Dio, Herodian, and the Historia Augusta supplemented this archaeological evidence. Chapter One shows the public image of Caracalla and Geta under Septimius Severus was largely centred around family and the creation of the new Severan dynasty as a way for Septimius to legitimise his rule. Under Septimius, distinct imagery of ‘the heir’ arose, as well as the introduction of the honorific epithet nobilissimus for Geta, which became synonymous with the Caesar after this period. Chapter Two demonstrates that after Septimius Severus died and Caracalla had his brother killed, the public image of the emperor overall shifted significantly.

  • The Goddess Fortuna in Imperial Rome: Cult, Art, Text
    Copyright by Darius Andre Arya 2002 The Dissertation Committee for Darius Andre Arya Certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: THE GODDESS FORTUNA IN IMPERIAL ROME: CULT, ART, TEXT Committee: Karl Galinsky, Supervisor L. Michael White Andrew Riggsby Ann Kuttner Erika Simon The Goddess Fortuna in Imperial Rome: Cult, Art, Text by Darius Andre Arya, B.A., M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin August 2002 Dedication For Silvia and Emilia. Acknowledgements This study of Fortuna in the imperial period (up to the Severan dynasty) presents many aspects of the goddess through an examination of the material culture of Rome, which includes the results of the Romans’ social-political, religious, artistic, architectural, and literary endeavors. I have not presented a catalogue, but, rather, I have attempted to underline the multivalent personality of Fortuna through some key, revealing examples of cult, art, architecture, and literature. Throughout, I argue that Fortuna is rich in meaning, acquiring new significance during the imperial period (largely through new iconography and new cults and cultic associations, related to the emperor and imperial cult), inherently an uncertain rather than a benevolent one, and distinguished from, though related to Tyche. I began work on the topic at the end of 1997. I had the opportunity to explore the issues of Fortuna cults on site in Italy, through a Fulbright Fellowship (1998-1999) and a Lewis B.
